Live Discussion: Human health and river health

How are the health of the Cooks River and the health of the communities linked? What does it mean to have a healthy urban river and a healthy community?

The river is connects to the streets of our neighborhoods. The rainwater connects us to the river and on to the bay. We connect to each other along the shared river path. How do we rethink these vital connections to green and 'blue' public space, to ensure a healthier city and river?

In this live panel discussion, we'll be joined by Wurriadjuri woman, Jennifer Newman from the Cooks River Valley Association, Dr Megan Sharkey from Better Streets, Kiran Kashyap from Regen Sydney and Dr Andrew Thomas from the Cooks River Alliance, to discuss the Cooks River, as an active transport corridor, animal habitat and public space.
